List of notable descendants of Fox Family=

[edit]

I see you have put the List of notable descendants of Fox Family back into the Tone Dale House article after it was removed by Niceguyedc with the edit summary " remove list of Fox descendants - unreferenced and doesn't seem to belong". Perhaps we could discuss this on the talk page.— Rod talk 18:38, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Potential conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Foxtarrsteps. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Tone Dale House, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
  • instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you.— Rod talk 07:52, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for being willing to enter into a discussion about your editing and asking for help. It is important that you observe the wikipedia policy on neutral point of view and only add factual rather than promotional information. You said that you have lots more information about the house to add. I would suggest this should only be added where it can be cited to third party sources (eg newspapers, books or websites unrelated to you or the company). You could always suggest the edits on the talk page of the article and then I or another editor can come along and add the information if we feel it complies with wikipedia policies and guidelines. For adding pictures see Wikipedia:Images but I'm happy to help with the syntax. NB these must be freely licenced for reuse so if you or the company own the copyright on the images. I hope this help - I am happy to discuss further if needed.— Rod talk 07:52, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for response again. I think the first thing would be to add a statement to your own user page stating (as you did on my talk page): "my wife and i own Tone Dale House and i am a partner of Big House Co which rents it from us" or similar. Would it be appropriate to assume you are also related to Fox Brothers as your name on Tone Dale House has been wikilinked to that article.— Rod talk 09:14, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Edits on your userpage should be yours. If there are things you suggest adding to the article on Tone Dale House you could put them on the articles talk page and then any editor can respond.— Rod talk 11:38, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Thomas & Sarah Fox.jpeg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Thomas & Sarah Fox.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:07, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Captions on Tone Dale House

[edit]

Thanks for your edits to Tone Dale House but you have added a couple of pictures with no captions. These should describe what the picture is of including its relevance to the article.— Rod talk 21:51, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have attempted on some i.e. Fox £5... but can't seam to do it on some?! how do you edit one they are up? is is acceptable (which I can do for now to have it within the main body and near the picture?

I've added some captions to show you how to do it - feel free to correct. I've also added "upright" to some of the images to make portrait images take up less of the page.— Rod talk 09:52, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They look great! thanks so much ....not sure its showed me how to do it?!....you done them all, thanks you.

I see how its done now! Thanks.

Hi - it is as claimed; i have procession of the original image at Tone Dale House, Wellington.

Hello there. Do you know when the image was originally created? Unfortunately international copyright law does not allow the owner of an archived image to automatically own the copyright of the image, so we need to assert the date and creator of the original artwork. Deryck C. 11:09, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi very sadly not best guess is between the wars when an old Fox Brothers & Co. booklet was created - will try to research and reply fully ASAP. If we can't prove either, do they need to be removed or is there another course of action?
Since this particular image isn't "mission critical" to the article, it will have to be deleted unless one of the following conditions are satisfied:
  1. The author of the original artwork died in 1945 or earlier ({{PD-old-70}})
  2. The original artwork was published in 1923 or earlier ({{PD-US}}
  3. The author is unknown but it is known that the artwork was first published in the UK in 1945 or earlier (commons:Template:PD-UK-unknown)
  4. The author is known and their rightful heir agrees explicitly to release the copyright
Some of these may well be applicable given what you say here. --Deryck C. 15:55, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks - should be able to satisfy one of those. Give me few days - if nothing within a week will delete.
Hi - found some information
  1. original artwork (on page 12) was published in 1914 in The Woollen Manufacture at Wellington Somerset by Joseph Hoyland Fox (publisher Arthur L Humphreys, 187 Piccadilly, W 1914). Would that be ok?
That's great. Please see Wikipedia:Files_for_discussion/2016_September_2#File:Thomas_.26_Sarah_Fox.jpeg for continued discussion. I've also changed the authorship descriptions and licences on the image page. Deryck C. 11:20, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gerbestone Manor

[edit]

Hi again, I've started an article on Gerbestone Manor and couldn't work out if the Lloyd (Howard) Fox mentioned is part of the same family as Tone Dale House, Fox, Fowler and Company, Tonedale Mills etc. I found this article on Fox links but there is no detail of where or when it was published. If you could add any further detail that would be great.— Rod talk 13:56, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He is. Name Lloyd Howard Fox ( not double barrelled) my grand father . If I can find other references will send them. Foxtarrsteps (talk) 16:05, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
